-### VMs with only up to 512mb memory
-Having only 512mb of system-memory available for dokku and its containers, for example Digital Ocean's smallest machines, might result in unexpected errors, such as **! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)** during installation of NPM dependencies (https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/3867).
-
-To work around this issue, it might suffice to augment the linux swap file size to a maximum of twice the physical memory size.
-
-To resize the swap file of a 512MB machine to 1GB, follow these steps while in SSH within your machine:
-
-```shell
-cd /var
-touch swap.img
-chmod 600 swap.img
-
-dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.img bs=1024k count=1000
-mkswap /var/swap.img
-swapon /var/swap.img
-free
-
-echo "/var/swap.img    none    swap    sw    0    0" >> /etc/fstab
-```
